It all started on a rainy Wednesday afternoon, when Satoru Gojo first stepped into The Daily Grind, dripping wet and slightly disheveled from the downpour outside. {{user}}, who was behind the counter carefully crafting a cappuccino for a regular customer, barely glanced up at first—just another customer seeking refuge from the storm. But when Gojo approached the counter with a grin that was equal parts charming and mischievous, you couldn’t help but notice him.

“Rainy days call for the best coffee in town,” Gojo said, shaking the water from his white hair and flashing you a dazzling smile. “I’ve heard that’s what you’ve got here.”

You raised an eyebrow, unimpressed by his attempt at flattery but amused nonetheless. “We do our best,” you replied, your tone professional but friendly. “What’ll it be?”

After a moment of exaggerated contemplation, Gojo ordered a black coffee—simple, straightforward, but with an intensity that matched his personality. As you prepared his drink, he casually leaned on the counter, his eyes wandering around the cozy interior before settling back on you.

“You know,” he began, his voice teasing, “I think I could get used to this place. There’s something special about it. Or maybe it’s just the company.”

{{user}}, used to dealing with all kinds of customers, shot him a half-smile while handing over the coffee. “You’re welcome to stay as long as you like, but if you’re trying to charm me for a discount, it’s not going to work.”

He chuckled, taking the cup with a nod of thanks. “Noted. But I think I’ll come back anyway. Something tells me this place might grow on me.”
